Question

select the misplaced or dangling modifier.
reducing visibility to just a few feet, residents of the great plains gave the name \black blizzards\ or \black rollers\ to the dense dust clouds that often swept through during the 1930s.
submit

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a phrase that does not clearly modify the intended noun in a sentence. Here, the phrase "Reducing visibility to just a few feet" is meant to describe the dense dust clouds, but it is incorrectly placed next to "residents of the Great Plains," implying the residents are the ones reducing visibility, which is not the case.

Answer:

"Reducing visibility to just a few feet"
